Author: Jim Schleckser 

Summary/Excerpt

💡 The book explores how exceptional CEOs are able to get more done in less time than others. Schleckser argues that great CEOs know a secret when it comes to time management - rather than spreading themselves thin across many tasks, they focus the majority of their time on eliminating the single biggest constraint or "bottleneck" holding back their business. The author outlines five key roles that these "lazy" CEOs take on to address constraints - the Learner, Architect, Coach, Engineer, and Player.

These high-leverage roles allow them to make permanent improvements to the business instead of just putting out fires. The book emphasizes that this approach is not just theory, but is derived from Schleckser's experience working with thousands of CEOs at high-growth companies.

It provides practical strategies for CEOs to diagnose constraints, avoid non-essential work, and maximize their impact. Overall, "Great CEOs Are Lazy" presents an unconventional but effective time management philosophy, positioning laziness as a virtue that enables exceptional leaders to achieve more while maintaining work-life balance.
